SION - Distraught relatives have flown in from Belgium
after 22 children and six adults died in a school bus
crash in a Swiss Alpine tunnel, with some parents still
unaware if their children were alive or dead.
Twenty-four of the 52 people on the coach were
injured.
They had been returning to Belgium from a skiing
holiday when the coach slammed into a concrete
wall late Tuesday in a motorway tunnel near the
town of Sierre.
The reason for the crash was not immediately known.
The coach had only just reached the motorway after a
short descent along winding roads from the mountain
ski resort, close to the Italian border.
Marianne Van Malderen, a Belgian motorist who
arrived at the scene shortly after the crash, described
children pinned under their seats or thrown towards
the front of the coach. READ MORE
